Began in 1879 with the discovery of
carbonate ores in the area. This town grew up around many mines.
It was believed to have been named for a man named Joseph Stumpf,
however, this man was doing placering in the area long after
the town was founded. Mostly a residential town, there were some
saloons and a pool hall.Submitted by Tom McCurnin.
